Everything I got at Blade Show 2021

If I spent $300 on a wallet I’d no longer have a use for a wallet

[@atsylor5549]

The $300 dollar wallet seemed outrageous to you but the custom knife that had to Be around a $1000 was acceptable . People make high end and custom versions of every single thing in life. Just because you don’t value it doesn’t mean other people won’t. And the things your willing to spend your money on is worthless in other people’s eyes.

[@darren1941]

@@atsylor5549 I never said I didn’t like the items just that they were way out of my price range. So yes if the $300 wallet is beyond my reach so is the $1000 knife even if it’s crafted from unicorn bone!

I was digging that F22 until you said it was $300. It solves the problem Ridge Wallets have with it being hard to get singular cards out, but damn that's steep for a wallet.

My thoughts exactly!

[@Unholymackrl]

@@dctexas11 i wanted it until the price , no thanks

[@19Bearsfansince79]

They are completely hand-tooled and made from scratch 100% in the USA so, even though I agree the titanium is pricey you get what you pay for I think.

[@tedgorman12]

Love seeing your haul. I kept an eye out for ya, but no luck. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my first Blade Show! A few notes... Greg Stevens was awesome. I didn't pull the trigger on a watch and am regretting it. The Blue Steel Runt was crazy cool to look at, but it was way too small. Purchased a Peña X Series Barlow. I'd never used a front flipper before and now can't put it down. The crew at Vero Engineering was probably my favorite with whom to interact and I bought a Synapse which I am loving. I can't wait for the Impulse Mini and some red end cut CF milled scales for it like the XL. Ramon Chavez was so thoughtful and warm considering I am a newbie with little knowledge. Made a couple of new friends and look forward to continuing the journey with insights from guys like Taylor Martin. Carry on!

[@earlelzy7243]

[@hardrock1826]

@@jojojojoundso Some people do tend to spend a lot of money on trendy things. What I found puzzling is going to The Blade Show and buying a wallet. There was always other sources for that online, like Amazon. But coming away from the show without any real knives I found odd. Could of bought a pretty nice fixed blade for that wallet money. You are right about that money clip thing.

The f22 wallet made me think of years ago, before the channel restart, when you were doing DIY for a couple wallets.

[@DimitrisDimitrakakis]

I have solved the step tracking problem using the Garmin Vivosmart on my left hand together with my handmade silver Byzantine prayer bracelet and my custom Seiko SKX with 6R15 movement on my right hand. It is the smallest of all devices out there and the rubber once passed in through the clip, stays snug in there with no movement and no back draw plus it does not protrude like all the other devices do. You will forget you are wearing it and it will do exactly what it is supposed to do even better. All watches that also track heart beats do not sample in real time, they take samples every other minute. Wrist bands track your movements and heart rate every split second. Think about practicallity and getting the best out of your devices plus looking good wearing a superb analog watch! Hope this helped you.

[@scottmantooth8785]

*a vid on the unusual EDC items that can e found on Kickstarter would be cool...i've found quite a lot of things that way that are now on other sites*

"I know I probably shouldn't own it but I do." That applies to 99% of my collection.

[@vittoriopiazza7120]

If u want to wear an analogue watch, but also want to track your fitness, check out Oura Rings. It tracks the same info that your smart watch does, but it’s a ring. Looks cool, works well, and frees up ur wrist for a real watch. Love the vids, keep up the good work. If u pick up one of these rings, make sure to make a video about em.

[@Leoblaze24]

Just my opinion. Ok thanks!

It's just to fidget with when bored. Or you have a "lucky" coin. Or it has a message that you read for inspiration when you need it.
